Patent number: 11504154Abstract: Prostate biopsy systems are provided that include a 3D ultrasound probe support configured to receive an ultrasound probe for transperineal imaging. One or more template grids can have a plurality of apertures extending therethrough to receive and guide a biopsy needle along a trajectory associated with respective apertures when the template grid is fixed to the support and the biopsy system is positioned in the perineal area of a patient. Patient-specific template grids can also be developed and produced. This system enables fully transperineal prostate biopsy (i.e. both imaging and needle placement are perineal) and eliminates the need for an external racking device for image fusion as well as needle tracking. In addition, it reduces the infection risk associated to transrectal approach.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Bradford Wood, Sheng Xu, Reza Seifabadi
